Will uneaten ghost shrimp hurt my ray?

[Kwazy]

Hi,
I just dropped in some live ghost shrimp for my little ray. she ate one, but the others are alive. Will the uneaten shrimp hurt her in the night or something?

I'm going away for 2 days over the weekend. Someone can feed her daily, but can I have some extra shrimp in the tank for her to snack on?
Thanks.

In my experience they were fine. They will just get picked off slowly

perfectly fine, just remember to gutload ghost shrimp before feeding them

Feed them with really high protien foods it will make them more nutritious for your ray to eat

Doesnt have to be high protein, just something healthy

True but when gut loading feeders (in my case for pbass) i feed them the highest protein i can find . Pbass and rays are carnivorous they eat meat therefore high protein .
